I just finished my first game and want to start a new game on a larger map. Near the end of my first game, once I had researched all hull sizes, I created base ship designs that I want to carry over from game to game.
My designs consist only of hulls and extras (no components). During the course of my first game I had both deleted and obsoleted a bunch of designs as I upgraded.
Before starting my new game I went into the mygames/ships folder and deleted all the other designs in there that I no longer wanted. When I started the new game I checked the research tree and it is listing some of my designs (old designs and the new designs) with a lot of late researched techs on them as prerequisites. I checked the mygames/ships folder and all of the old designs were back in the folder. This happened repeatedly so it wasn't a one time glitch.
I went back into a saved game from my first game and tried upgrading my designs and adding in a basic hyperdrive only since it is a starting tech. So now in mygames/ship folders I have two types of files for my designs - name.shipclass (I think this is the hull only) and name.shipcfg (I think this is the hull with the hyperdrive).
Each time I try to start a new game the tech tree is listing my designs with a lot of techs on them that I didn't save them with.
And it keeps putting my old designs back in the folder.
Does anyone know how to permanently delete the old designs and how I can get the new designs I want to keep to be in the new game?
